particularly good for pizza...Gaetano built his own 'horno de lena'...i.e. wood oven, and has two guys from Napoli (i think) who know what they are doing...certainly the best pizza i, and my discerning sicilian friends, have eaten in the DR

Voodoo Lounge in Cabarete
is it? i will try it then. and voodoo lounge too. we have a bunch of people coming to stay in few weeks time. they will want to see places
Likey I said, I haven't been to Voodoo Lounge, but I'm happy to see a business where they are not over-charging like most places in Cabarete for food and drinks.
Another brilliant and inaccurate statement. :dead:
You write as if that's the going rate for a standard mixed drink. Since this thread is about Voodoo Lounge, how about their drink prices... nothing on their drink menu over US$4.50 except pitchers at about US$7.50. Their basic drinks are 100 pesos (US$2.50).
And happy hour, between 5 and 9, it is two mojitos, caipirinhas etc. for 150, two Cubas for 100. And Kahuna expensive? What were you drinking R23? Blue label? Have you ever been to Cabarete. Food, yes Jose Osheas is expensive, but Kahuna, Lax, Mojito Bar...just to mention a few on the beach...

I assume you are a beer drinker though but I wonder if you ever been in Cabarete. Yes Jose Osheas is expensive, but Kahuna, Lax, Mojito Bar...just to mention a few... However have a tip for you. Most colmados have plastic chairs with cheap big beers where you can enjoy the traffic. I think Sosua is your taste (hmmm that is probably where you already sitting) Cheers.
I can't compare Cabarete to Miami Beach because I do not know Miami Beach. But I do know the DR, from one end to the other and the prices charged on the beach side of Cabarete are very expensive compared to the rest of the country, with a few exceptions- where the wealthy Dominicans hang out in the big cities, ect. Not good or bad, just the way it is. As far as the techo music, American music issue, once again, this is only played in very few places in the country- tourist towns and a few bars in the big cities where the middle- upper middle class hang out. Personally I love the fact that foreign music has not overtaken the native music of the island. Put it like this- in 99.9% of the country the only music you will hear is Merenge, Bachata and some salsa thrown in once in a while. Not just in colmados- everywhere. I visit Cabarete sometimes and enjoy it. But it has absolutely nothing to do with what the DR and its culture is all about. Ya ! K
